Just Creative Design Switches To Comic Sans
Posted on 01'09 Apr
UPDATE: This was an April Fools Joke… see this post in case you missed it! I thought 6 hours was enough!
You may have noticed some small changes to Just Creative Design, we’ve swapped from using Helvetica as our main font, to the much loved Comic Sans. If you don’t see the changes press CTRL+F5 to refresh the page.
I feel that it gives the site a much friendlier, fun feel… do you like the new changes? Let me know your comments below.

Love your site, love your work. As for the font choice…it will have to grow on me. Keep thinking creatively and keep leading the field. I think you are one of the most talented designers out there right now.
Happy April Fools Day!
I smell an April Fool’s joke. Nonetheless, the fact that you were able to change all the type on the site suggests you maintain your stylesheets well. Painless to change back on April 2!
Man, imakemudcastles must have beaten me by a few seconds. Congrats mudcastles!
Well played…
Nice April Fools
Worst. April. Fools. Joke. Ever.
C’mon, you can do better than that.
Doesn’t look too bad.. ;)
lol. I don’t think i’ve ever seen a site all in comic sans before.. good thing this is only a temporary joke.. I hope! :)
&& the jokes begin.
The horror:
Worst April Fool’s I’ve seen so far on the web. I have you on RSS and Twitter, but this is plain stupid.
Wonder how this would look in Papyrus?
:)
You guys, Comic Sans is SOOO much better than Helvetica!
I wonder tomorrow the RSS subscribers turned to zero, 0. Lol!
Have a wonderful 1st April! :) Why don’t you change to something like Joker font or etc. Or, symbols. That’s even hilarious.
Lmfao! Good one. I actually fell for it.
Happy April Fools!
=)
I really hope you’re joking ; )
omg i was FREAKING OUT until i saw the comments and remembered its april fools.
oh man, well done.
my jaw dropped when i saw the site. hahaha!
I was thinking in my head “Really, Comic Sans??! Has Jacob finally derailed? I thought Comic Sans was forbidden in the design community?!” LOL good thing I read the other comments! You got me :D
I love that font you used, which font was that again? Its a typographic wonder!
/sarcasm
I think this is a great April Fool’s joke! The key to a good April Fool’s joke is plausibility. For the most part, I think we know Jacob would never do something like this…but you never know…
I’m going to go switch my website to Marker Felt now. Thank God for CSS!
As I was reading this post in my head I was thinking of a way yo kindly say “Comic Sans sucks.” Haha. As I began to read comments I realized it is indeed April 1st on your side of the world. The joke is definitely on me! Nice one Jacob :)
Brilliant.
OMG… I was thinking, comic sans is one of the most condemned fonts for designers, and this site use it!?!? until I found out it’s April 1st today.
well Happy April Fool :D
Comic sans is funny if you really want people to scratch their heads try:

I would love to see any of the above!
The joke is all on you when April 2 rolls around…
I prefer “sand”
It’s still march 31 where I am haha.
Nicely done… Finally, a practical application of Comic Sans!
I just hurled on my keyboard… damn you, comic sans!
I’m going to be honest, I was fooled… for a second. Until I read the comments. Nicely played
P.S. It’s still March 31 where I’m at.
~Happy April Fools
Classic……
funny… I’m really tired right now and you had me going for a few moments there…
I really love Comic Sans
It’s smokin hot!

Comic Sans. Not much to be said, except for AWESOME!!
Enough said.
You dag! Your just way too talented Jacob.
I love it! it’s so modern and easy to read!
It’s not April Fool’s day in California just yet, but I was surprised. At least it wasn’t papyrus.

“”
so glad i’m on a mac at the moment – it doesn;t ‘do’ comic sans, and neither do i :D
The font was the only thing I really didn’t like about your design. It’s great now!
Thanks for not leaving the site comic sans! I was super worried for a minute… Especially because yesterday was not April fools in the US, today is, so I didnt get the joke at first!
That is a classic. Well done Jacob. Everyone loves comic sans
It’s now the 16th! – I’m sorry I missed this one. I’d love to see a snapshot of the whole site in it’s full glory of Comic Sans!!
I know, I missed it also, I’d love to see it, come one, give us a link to where we can view it :)
Personally I think that Papyrus would have been more …. ahem…. ‘striking’ ;)

More people need to read this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant believe you’re not more popular.
